You will love the very Parisian area where our flat is located between the Place des fêtes and Jourdain: rue de Belleville and its artists/street-art studios, the Buttes Chaumont park and its famous meeting point 'Le Rosa Bonheur', the fine grocery shops of Jourdain, the bars/restaurants of the area not far from Ménilmontant (two restaurants of ex-candidates of Top Chef)
Near the flat, you will find many supermarkets (Monoprix, G20, Franprix...), organic shops (biocoop, Naturalia) and the famous Place des Fêtes market three days a week.
A bit of history about the Place des Fêtes. Why this name? Quite simply because we are in the heart of what was the village of Belleville before it became part of Paris in 1859. In 1836, the year of its creation, it was named "Place de la Fête" because its purpose was to host the city's public events. Despite its rapid urbanisation and an increase in population, until the end of the 19th century the place remained quite festive with a bandstand and circus performances.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Place des Fêtes began to be surrounded by buildings, some of which were already quite high. In 1911, the 7B metro line arrived. Between 1962 and 1971, almost all the buildings bordering the square were demolished. The site was completely transformed with the construction of high-rise apartment buildings and a commercial slab at their foot. In the early 1990s, under pressure from local associations, Jacques Chirac, then Mayor of Paris, decided to redevelop the site to "humanise" it. Arcades were created, trees were planted, a shaded area was installed as well as a pyramid... But the place remained very mineral for its 17,000 inhabitants.
In 2015-2016, after a broad consultation with the population, a new transformation of the square was undertaken. In all, 460 m2 of new vegetated surfaces were created, 160 m2 of planters and 9 new trees were planted. A misting area consisting of 7 masts was installed in order to create a "cool island" for play and relaxation. In the centre of the square, the pyramid was dismantled to make way for the Capla.
Today, after its total renovation, which offers larger spaces for conviviality, the square has regained the festive side that gave it its name. The Paris City Council has even dedicated an episode of its podcast 'Un quart d'heure à Paris' to it.
